The more you know!

How you store your farm fresh eggs matters!

As an egg travels through the hens oviduct calcium forms around the yolk and albumen as it travels the egg rotates causing eggs to have a blunt end and a more pointed end. The aircell is located at the blunt end of the egg between the shell membrane and the egg membrane. When you store your eggs with the blunt end down in the carton the aircell begins to lift up
bringing bacteria in contact with the yolk. Over time the heavy contents of the egg weigh on that aircell eventually causing it to rupture spreading bacteria through the egg. When you store your eggs with the pointy end down in the carton the aircell remains at the top of the egg. With the yolk centered and the more alkaline albumen as a cushion between the aircell and the egg yolk bacteria is less likely to grow and contaminate your egg. Your eggs are also less likely to get broken in the carton when stored pointy end down as the pointy end of the egg makes less contact with the carton and is stronger than the blunt end. Storing your farm fresh eggs pointy end down in the carton keeps them fresher for longer.

Hey Hey!!! I have GRASS-FED BEEF and FARM FRESH PORK for sale! 🙌

Now more than ever it’s important to know exactly what you’re putting into your body.

Farmers and local foods are being targeted…

WHY?

WE believe it is because REAL FOOD SUPPORTS COMMUNITY, SELF SUSTAINABILITY, AND NUTRITION.

THE QUEST OF FARMFIT is to connect sustainable, functional, fitness, nutrition and Agriculture to SUPPORT local families & communities.

We want to grow happy, healthy; plants, animals, and people and support local agriculture.

To kick off the FARMFIT BOX located at CrossFit Cortez/Evolution GYM We will donate $1 from each meat sale to the “Noble Cause Fund” that will help pay for someone’s gym membership or holistic nutrition consulting.

Grocery store food sucks.

Support local farmers.

Eat REAL food.

Strengthen community.

Make the community more accessible.

This is the way…

🙏❤️
